Actually, cable is supposed to have been invented in a town near where I grew up. This particular town, like many up there, was surrounded by mountains and/or piles of coal refuse. Some guy got the bright idea to put a big antenna on top of one of the refuse piles and run a wire down to the town for distribution. Viola! cable.

Rabbit ears with a big wire...
Yup!
And then you put aluminum foil on the rabbit ears. And wiggle the ears around. And add a coat hanger and more foil if that fails.
